3. Bake the Cheesecake

  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the center is just set.

  • Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator.


4. Chill and Serve
